Chapter 261 Her



The moment Lirienne saw Callius appearing right before her eyes, she was astonished. Since she was not expecting anyone to come, let alone Callius.

/SMASH/

Only for her face to get smashed to the ground….

"Let's see…. Time to reap what you saw, was it?"

The moment this voice echoed inside the open field, a chill fell down the spine of bullies as they were able to feel the hate and the anger in the voice.

"However, I won't be the one doing that." The voice continued as he spoke. "Since there is a better candidate here." 

/FLICK/

In a swift motion, he flicked his fingers, unleashing a surge of lightning that coursed through Lirienne's and others' bodies. She convulsed momentarily, a flash of pain piercing her, but it was over in an instant. She didn't even have a chance to let out a scream. 

As for others, they were paralyzed only for a second. Since Callius didn't want them to interrupt this moment, he would have.

'Huh?' However, the moment pain left, she felt the lost sensation. The sensation of being able to utilize her mana. It had returned. 'I can use my mana?' The moment this information entered her brain, a crazy smile appeared on her lips.

A crazy smile that was characteristic of the villainess in the game. The characteristics of a murderer. 

'Heh…. Now you are back….' Seeing the expression on her face, Callius smiled as well, as he knew this was the picture he had in his mind. 'You are going in the way I want.' 

"They are yours," he said, shifting his gaze towards Lirienne. His eyes, now disguised in shades of blue, pierced through Lirienne's hazel eyes, both different from their true colors. 

But in her mind, those blue eyes overlapped with the memory of his original piercing crimson gaze, as if those intense red eyes were still seeing right through her. 

/CLANK/

As two daggers fell to the ground, she felt a swirl of emotions.

'Always you... the only one who truly understands me,' she thought, her heart stirred by an unfamiliar emotion. 

Those eyes, looking right through her, seemed to hold a deep understanding of who she truly was, like they knew everything about herself. The gaze that made her comfortable at the beginning now started making her happy.

She was happy to feel like she was someone important.

Lirienne, the girl who had closed her heart off from others, now felt a newfound sense of importance. For the first time in her life, she felt like she mattered to someone like she was truly understood. 

It wasn't just because she was saved but because she felt a connection, a sense of being seen and recognized. Her eyes, filled with happiness, turned their attention toward the girls that were paralyzed.

After this point, it was her massacre. Her vengeance, even if it was a step towards her ultimate vengeance, it was still a step nonetheless….

******

In a sense, at this point, you must have understood one important thing about me. I hate someone touching things that I consider mine.

Even though this was a situation that I could use to my advantage, that didn't mean I wasn't angry. No, I rather was since this situation reminded me of old times.

The treatment Callius was shown in the mansion by the surroundings. This reminded me of that.

/SWOOSH/

Thus I was angry as I dashed through the ring leader of the group while changing my face with my skill [Disguise]. 

Therefore, I did not have to reduce my strength either since my face was different.I think you should take a look at pandasnovel.com

However, my goal was not to exact my own vengeance here.

No, it was different.

My goal was to ensure the path Lirienne was taking. The path that I wanted. Therefore, after incapacitating the girls, I left the rest to Lirienne.

Since I knew deep down that what she desired wasn't to be rescued.

No, this girl was not your normal girl being far from ordinary. She is cracked in the head.

She would rather die instead of losing herself, and I knew that as well. For the girl that lost her identity by getting rejected by the environment surrounding her, the most important thing for her was to be understood. 

Since it was what she was lacking…

Therefore, I wanted to give her what she wanted since even the things she wanted were actually the beliefs I had put in her mind. Those little words that I had chosen while speaking to her, those little messages I put behind the normal daily life.

The words of vengeance and the hate that was instilled in her mind. It was me that did that.

pandasnovel.com The anger she felt towards her sister, the twisted feelings of her that she felt whenever she was about to kill someone….

All those things….

They were there for her to take the shape I wanted.

Thus, I knew from the moment I saw the scene. Instead of me destroying those girls for her, she would want to do it herself.

However, she also needed a weapon for this one. Thus, I put two daggers there, letting her use the weapon she would in the future….

And I left the job with her. As I slowly retreated back, observing the scene before me.

Lirienne, whose blood was still spilled on her face, now had a bloody smile. She stood up, and the color of her eyes was changed.

The grey color of her eyes was to signal that she was about to use her magic…. The signal I knew from the game.

The daggers on her hands shone bright grey as the moonlight was lighting the surroundings.

At this point, I had already released the paralyzing lightning magic on the bodies of bullies. 

"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING!" Soon a scream came to my ears as the ringleader girl raised to her feet. 

The fire-attributed artifact on her hands was activated as the fire was swirling. 

The other five girls were also raised as they, too, took out their weapons.

Just like that, on this dimly lighted night, the future villainess of this work clashed with her enemies, making the barrier they used to trap her jail for themselves….

Hope you liked the last chapters. I think it was quite good to show how Lirienne felt about Callius.

I am trying to make all the heroines have unique personalities and ways of thinking. Hope you liked this….
